c31.18

An inscription of the tenth year of Kulōttunga I from the Chingleput district gives the ratio between the standard *kāśu* and silver bullion by stating that 433 *kalañjus* of silver formed the equivalent of 100 *kāśus*, so that 1 *kalañju* of gold, probably of the standard fineness of 9½ *māttu*, was equal to 8·66 *kalañjus* of silver.⁴⁶
